Newly licensed and wondering when you start reporting CPE?
If you are newly licensed, when you must begin reporting depends upon when in the year you were licensed.
- If you become licensed between January 1 and June 30:
You need to begin earning CPE July 1 through June 30 and you make your first report that following December.
Example: You became licensed on June 30, 2024, You would need to earn CPE from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, and you would make your first report of that earned CPE no later than December 31, 2025.
- If you become licensed between July 1 and December 31:
You don't need to begin earning CPE until the following CPE reporting year (July 1 to June 30) and you wouldn't make your first report of earned CPE until prior to that subsequent December 31 deadline.
Example: You became licensed on July 1, 2024. You would need to begin earning CPE from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and you would make your first report of that earned CPE no later than December 31, 2026.
